Oh, I am certainly aware and am most definitely sad about the GPU availability situation. I only kick myself for waiting on AMD's R6000 cards performance numbers before earnestly trying to source a 3080. Cyberpunk 2077 does not like my 1080 GTX at 3840x1600 resolutions.... womp womp I keep...

So I've been trying to build a new system for the last 2 months. Originally I thought I was fortunate to get in on an ordering window for a FormD T1, but turns out they're facing supply problems and don't know when orders might ship now. So I took advantage of their cancellation offer. The M1...

Is this the Gunmetal T1?

Good news:

Is a that a 25mm fan paired with a couple of 12s?

Well now, that is interesting, and looks to be only 2 slots wide. But agreed that those tubes look far too long.

Can't imagine anyone with an in progress order who wouldn't. But who knows, maybe there are PCIe v3 purists out there. ;)

A 3950 and 3090 on the same loop is asking quite a bit, Ali. But I am saddened by this a little. Also glad that he talked about the riser cable issue, but surprised he didn't just pull the MB and update the BIOSes with the card plugged in directly.

Curious if they’ve had access to the RDNA 2 (“Big Navi”) cards to test if this problem persists in AMD’s latest cards.

Out of curiosity, is this expected to delay late orders with estimated ship dates of late December? Understand if that’s the case, but want to adjust my plans and expectations accordingly.

I did say there were a lot of simplifications, and assumptions. The area does need to be effective, which will be determined by the design. How many passes back and forth do the tubes make? How many tubes are there.? How do the fins attach to the tubes? Etc and so forth.. Which is why...

It absolutely does, my Bachelor's Degree is in Chemical Engineering and one of the basic formula for designing heat exchangers is q=UAdT where: q is the rate of heat transfer (W, J/s, BTU/hr, etc), U is a Coefficient of heat transfer determine from a variety of factors including materials...

I'm in the same boat. What motherboard are you planning on using. Going to wait to see how the 6800xt performs, along with availability, but slowly building up my parts. The T1 won't likely arrive until January, so I have some time.

Curious about this as well, as I really don't care about any lighting. I expect to need to swap to 15mm tall fans though.

Happy to hear that it fits, but I wonder what the thermals are like under a significant load. Looking forward to what Ari has to say in a few days.
